Explore the relationship between surrealist techniques and human and animal bodies in this free workshop.

If you missed it the first time, here’s your second chance! Join us for an extended version of our recent workshop, Tongueomania; Languages, Animals and Surrealist Anatomies with visual poets Daniele Nicolaescu and Blaise Sales.

Drop in and explore language, texture and assemblage through surrealist techniques such as collage and ‘cubomania’, creating multimodal approaches to translation and transformation, inspired by our current exhibition The Traumatic Surreal.
